Though the specimen is still very small, I think it belongs to this species, as the sculpture 

 perfectly agrees with that of specimens from Cebu. Tryon unites M. indentata with it.

The radula has the teeth in about 40 rows. The median tooth (M) has a lenticular base, 

 with convex anterior and posterior margins, the latter being the most convex, it is 9-cuspidate, 

 3 central cusps being larger and on each side are 3 smaller ones of which the outer one is 

 scarcely perceptible in some rows; the laterals (i) are broad, with a curved base and only 3 cusps 

 near the proximal end, of which the distal one is by far the largest. 



The specimens from Stat. 33 and 274 are rather small, but those from Stat. 313 are 

 very fine and well-developed.

The only specimen is still very young, consequently doubtful ; I consulted Mr. Melvill, 

 who thinks it may be the young, undeveloped granata, so I have referred it to that species, 

 though with doubt.
